Empty Promises Lyrics by Saxon

Rock the Nations

1986

[Verse 1]
I gave you my love but you threw it straight back in my face
I should have known better, you're just perfume and lace
You're messing around, you're making a fool out of me
But I've had enough baby, I'm setting you free

[Chorus]
But I gave you all the chances, I gave you all the signs
Now who's the lonely one? Were you just a waste of time?
Empty promises

[Verse 2]
I remember the days when it used to be good
We were always together, we both understood
But something went wrong, white turned to black
So I'm leaving you baby, I ain't coming back

[Chorus]
But I gave you all the chances, I gave you all the signs, yeah
Now who's the lonely one? Were you just a waste of time?
Empty promises


[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
But I gave you all the chances, I gave you all the signs, yeah
Now who's the lonely one? Were you just a waste of time?
Empty promises
